Isaac Newton, Alpha and Omega

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post

For many years I've had this double-portrait (as it were) of Isaac Newton, an alpha and omega image: it depicts the window of the room in which Newton was born in Woolsthorpe (near Grantham), and then the last portrait made of him in life.  The portrait is very well known; the view of the window with the pure holy light, not so very much.
